Exclamation is it new rims or what?

just got new rims volks gt-7's 19" w/ low profile tires ..everything was fine then started hearing these sounds and it hasnt been a week yet.....basically the sound is coming from the left front side ...sounds like metal scaping against one another..at first the sound only came when i make left turns now..it makes sounds when i go straight or right turns..are the rims too big or something? gonna take it back to where i got the rims tomorrow..thought i come here first any suggestions would help...also the front right rim makes clicking noises when i start off or change gears at low speeds..that was the first problem..now its the other noise on the driver side ...and this never happened before cuz i had another set of rims i just sold....please help

thanks

what are the offsets and size of the rims and tires? is your car dropped? it's possible that you are rubbing and would need to have the fenders rolled.

rims size are 19, tires i think are 275/35 (the back), the front not sure, car not dropped ...not sure if i need my fenders rolled because it looks like there is enough spacing , but that doesnt make the metal scraping noise, sounds like my brakes are too tight or someting hence making the noise......the noise kinda resembles a knife sharper sound ..two metal objects rubbing each other not sure if that helps....
